DANIEL PRICE

A BRIEF

Image From DailyMail

In 2010, at the age of 23, Daniel Price co-founded My 1st Years with business partner and friend Jonny Sitton when he struggled to find a gift for his friend’s baby. He created his own present, a pair of personalised baby shoes, and it was from there that My 1st Years was born. After a tough initial two-years, the award-winning company has enjoyed an average growth rate of 100% year on year. My 1st Years then achieved the seemingly impossible when they provided the personalised dressing gown which Prince George wore when meeting President Obama in 2016.

My 1st Years has since become the UK’s biggest children’s gifting website, providing personalised unique, unforgettable gifts for all occasions. They expanded rapidly into the US market and deliver to customers world-wide, with flagship stores in Harrods and Selfridges. The brand offer their 300,000+ customers over 500 gift-wrapped products from personalised robes to hand-made rocking chairs. Aside from The Royal Family, their fans include Elton John, Beyoncé and The Kardashians to name a few!

A BRIEF

Image From GreatBritishBusinessShow

My name is Emanuele Vinci. I am originally from Italy and I have been living in the UK for the past 16 years. I came here without speaking a word of English but with big ambitions to create the life of my dreams.

Four years ago I started to sell on Amazon and after many failures I started to see some success. Within 3,5 months I was selling over 60K dollars per month and I then decided to leave my full-time job and start to be an entrepreneur.

I started by Dropshipping products from authorised distributors, then reinvesting my profit on the products that I was already selling and turning them into worldwide distribution through the Fulfilment by Amazon program.

I now own a few brands of products and I am teaching students around the world how to create their dream life too by becoming self-employed.
